I thought we preferred to be as specific and accurate as possible on the license? atk's source files state:

 * This library is free software; you can redistribute it and/or
 * modify it under the terms of the GNU Library General Public
 * License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either
 * version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.

If your point is that version 2 is the first version of the LGPL that existed, then that's true, but seeing "LGPL" in a portfile gives a reader the impression that the author did not bother to verify which version of the license was in use, whereas "LGPL-2+" makes it clear that this information was determined and duly recorded in the portfile.
